Etymology
The word 'toddy' originates from the early 19th century, likely derived from the Hindi word 'tadi', which refers to a beverage made from the fermented sap of the palm tree, known as 'toddy' in some cultures. The drink transitioned into a warm alcoholic mixture, primarily made with whiskey or rum, hot water, and sugar, popularized in British and American cultures. Its association with warmth and comfort has solidified its place in social traditions, notably in the context of winter gatherings or as a remedy for colds and flus. Over time, the recipe variations have evolved, incorporating different spices and flavors, but the core components remain rooted in its historical origins.
